Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the impact of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict on Polish security, especially in the context of geopolitical changes, military and hybrid threats, and the growing role of Polish in NATO structures. The first part discusses the genesis and course of the Russian aggression against Ukraine, highlighting the key military factors and strategic actions of both sides of the conflict. The second part presents the importance of Ukraine for the security of Polish, emphasizing its role as a buffer state and a key element of the stability of Central and Eastern Europe. The third part analyses the consequences of the conflict for Polish, including military, hybrid, cyber attacks and information activities aimed at the Polish state. The fourth part presents the allied dimension and the role of NATO, pointing to the strengthening of the military presence, the modernisation of the armed forces and the adaptation of defence strategies in the region. The fifth part describes the future challenges and necessary directions of Polish’s actions in the face of further escalation or prolonged destabilization in the east. The research problem of the article is formulated: how does the Russian-Ukrainian conflict affect the security of Polish and what strategic challenges does it generate for the state security system? The research hypothesis assumes that this conflict significantly increases the level of threats to Polish’s security in both the military and hybrid dimensions, while strengthening its importance as a key country on NATO’s eastern flank. The research used methods of analysis and synthesis, institutional and legal analysis, as well as analysis of literature and sources on regional security and the Russian-Ukrainian war.
